            I discovered this accidentally when I was going to copy/paste the part I wanted to reply to. VERY nice feature!

              @trivet For sure! Nothing would annoy me more on old forums when after 100 pages of comments, some rando would "quote" the ENTIRE first long post, photos and all!

                      @davesaddiction You can also quote the whole thing and then delete/edit the text you quoted. I haven't tried it yet, but can you then change entirely what the person said? FAKE NEWS!1!!1

                                @trivet My bad, I should have made it more clear in my post that I was testing it by sending it on mobile, and does work! I mainly use mobile, and hadn't yet tried the quote function.

                                  Or you can directly edit within the quote. Just put your text at the left margin without a leading ">".

                                  Never discount the possibility that you might live through it.

                                          @rallydarkstrike Super handy. I generally don't like the quote button for all the clutter it can add, but this is a really helpful feature (especially in longer threads with lots of different conversations going on).

                                            Same thing happened to me. I guess the text that I had just copied was still highlit when I clicked the reply button. Nifty!
